Standard vs. nanoMAG Damping Construction Types
STANDARD LAYUP
Our standard layup construction includes a select cut Ash hardwood core wrapped with triaxial fiberglass and carbon fiber stringers under the core. The carbon stringers are used to increase pop and rebound energy in the ski, while complementing the predictable and torsionally rigid feel of the triaxial fiberglass.
WHICH CONSTRUCTION SHOULD I GET?
The standard layup is best suited for the majority of skiers, it blends the traditional hardwood core with an energetic feel. Best for all mountain skiing with limited backcountry touring.
NANOMAG® DAMPING SYSTEM LAYUP
This method of construction incorporates a sheet of nanoMAG® magnesium into our Standard Layup that significantly reduces vibration and chatter in the nastiest conditions. The damping of the material increases edge hold and creates an exceptionally smooth ride.
WHICH CONSTRUCTION SHOULD I GET?
The nanoMAG® Damping System is suited for the skier looking for the ultimate in smooth skiing, especially when making high speed turns. This option maximizes grip on ice. Two words to describe this option are "Smooth and Stable". This will slightly reduce liveliness (vs. Standard or Pure Carbon) but gives you that Cadillac Ride!
